Naugatuck PD Swears In Familiar Face For New Role

NAUGATUCK — The town's police department has a new leader, but not a new face, following his swearing-in ceremony earlier this week in Naugatuck.

Veteran officer and administrator Daniel Norck was sworn-in Tuesday as deputy chief of police for the Naugatuck Police Department in front of department colleagues, law enforcement officers from the region, friends, family and community members.

The deputy chief oversees the department’s detective division and administrative division and serves as the department’s second in command.

Norck began his law enforcement career in 2001 for the Southbury Police Department when he entered the 288th training class at the Connecticut Police Academy.

He transferred to the Naugatuck Police Department in 2008 and has held the positions of sergeant, detective sergeant, lieutenant, detective lieutenant and, most recently, captain where he oversaw all patrol operations.

Over his 20-year career, Norck has been a certified instructor for several disciplines of police work.

He holds a bachelor’s degree and master’s degree in administration of justice from Salve Regina University and is a graduate of the Northwestern University School of Police Staff and Command.

In his spare time, he and his wife Sarah raise their two daughter and is an avid outdoorsman that stems as far back as when he obtained the rank of Eagle Scout in his youth.
